I think the opposite. I think $$ amounts and Steem Power amounts should not be displayed next to people's names. Imagine if it's the physical world and everyone you meet your Google Glass shows you their net worth and all their assets? I really don't think that would work well for obvious reasons.

Even if it's possible to Google a person or look it up, it's probably not the best idea to put it in everyone's faces. Long term this could have very bad consequences.

If you do wish to display some information with regard to Steem Power or Steem Dollars, I would recommend using something other than numbers. I would say use badges such as super hero, legend, etc. Or use minnow, dolphin, whale, etc. And if you do it this way then you can have a discreet badge or icon which represents their social status without having to create unnecessary divisions that seem to inevitably occur when you have what looks like money attached to names on the front page. 

Yes these are more like points in a game and it's not actual money. But if it's like a game then why not use the best tactics of gamification? Badges, icons, leaderboards, that kind of stuff.
